A Note

I’ve had to deal with some medical issues – nothing serious, but still taking
up a substantial amount of my time. So there’s no column today. But I’ll be
back on Friday, so stay tuned to this space – and, don’t’ forget, we are still
running our fundraising campaign, which is absolutely essential to our continued
existence. So please donate: we’ve already raised $26,000 in matching funds,
and $10,000 in Bitcoins, and we must
match these amounts (in dollars and Bitcoin, respectively), so
please make your donation today.

NOTES IN THE MARGIN

You can check out my Twitter feed by going here.
But please note that my tweets are sometimes deliberately provocative, often
made in jest, and largely consist of me thinking out loud.

Get well Justin! I just saw that Antiwar.com is now on the Drudge Report list. I wonder how long that has been going on? Congratulations to all!

Take your time Raimondo…

In the meantime, I think it's important to note that Al-Qaeda has apparently taken over the sole border crossing between Israel and Syria…but it gets better: Israel's 'response' to this 'development' was to bomb Syrian Arab Army positions, while 'officially' claiming…at the exact same time…via an IDF 'spokesman' mind you…that: "This is not a conflict that we (Israel) are involved in".

Justin Raimondo's "Reclaiming the American Right" is one of the most fascinating political books I have ever read. I first read this work a couple of years ago, but return to it often because the stories of the various figures of the Old Right are so relevant to the current political situation. This book should be required reading for all who associate the word "conservative" with "troglodyte" or "warmonger". It wasn't always so! The "Old Right" conservatives were very interested in personal liberty and bitterly opposed to war and the Merchants of Death who profit from them.
